combining dates and text in a cell
Hello--
I had a column with dates and another with text labels. I'd like to combine these and tried using this formula: =D6&" "&I6 D6 = 7/4/2009 I6 = HOLIDAY Is there any way to do this to get the actual date and not the numberical value returned? Thanks in advance for your help. |

combining dates and text in a cell
try
=TEXT(D6,"m/d/yy ") & I6 Notice that I've included the space for separation as part of the format for the date, saving a little complexity of the formula. You can, of course, use other formats for the date to get it displayed differently, such as: =TEXT(D6,"d-mmm-yyyy ")&I6 "Cecilia" wrote: Hello-- I had a column with dates and another with text labels.
